00:00And the last game from yesterday, we had a toilet bowl game out in Vegas between the Jags and the Raiders.

00:07And this game actually had a lot of significance because draft seeding is important.

00:12Who's going to be where in the NFL draft?

00:14The Raiders actually could have lost their last three games and by percentage points with strength of schedule,

00:21would have gotten it over the Giants, believe it or not, if they both finished with two wins.

00:26Well, the Giants don't have to worry about that anymore because the Raiders won.

00:30They beat the Jags 19-14.

00:34So that moves the Raiders, Scotty, from potentially having the first pick to now being in the sixth pick in the draft.

00:42They fall six spots by winning that game.

00:45Giants are 2-13 and all by themselves at the top.

00:48So New England, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland, and Vegas all at 3-12.

00:55Carolina Jets, Chicago at 4-11.

00:57So still over these next two weeks, teams can either improve their draft status or torpedo their draft status,

01:08like the Raiders did yesterday out in Vegas.

01:11You can't even make it up.

01:12I was watching the game and I'm like, are they going to win this game?

01:15Are you serious?

01:16And then they win the game and just open the door for the Giants.

01:20And then look what happened to them.

01:21They fall even further down the pile and it was just a horrible win.

01:26Bottom line, it was a horrible win.

01:28They didn't need to win.

01:29They needed to lose and they couldn't even do that right.

01:33They couldn't even do that right.

01:35And now, like, what hurts you is that they're one of these teams up here that, you know, wants a quarterback and needs a quarterback.

01:43And there's only really two.

01:45You know, there's Sanders and Ward.

01:47There ain't going to be any beyond that at the top of this draft.

01:51Now, New England, Jacksonville, I think Tennessee is going to be in the market for one as well with the way things have gone for them this year.

01:58So Vegas is now going to need some teams to do what they did yesterday and actually win some games in order to find themselves back up the list.

02:07But who knows?

02:08Maybe the Giants will screw it up, too, at some point.

02:11The Giants are good at screwing things up.

02:13So maybe they will.

02:14I don't think they're going to screw it up.

02:15I really don't.

02:16I think they've got it figured out.

02:17Lose and then get the top pick.

02:20They got it down to a science.

02:21They lose every week.

02:22Automatic.

02:23They've done a pretty good job of that.
